SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOMNALS. A letter on the subject of Greece, and of Greek poli tics, will be found in our columns; And we publish it as we have received it, with natural wishes that the opinion of the author as to the favourable aspect of the tflitirs of his adopted nati on may prove in the result w e ll f oun d e d , but not altogether with a dispositien to blame the people of England, as he has blamed them, for their apparent backwardness in the muse of Grecian liberty, sus com pared with other turopean nations. It is true, that fora long tiolt' past subscriptions have not much succeed ed in Englend, for the supply of arms, or other implements of war, to the Greeks • and can such reserve be wondered at ? Per, whet has become of the Greek loans ? How have they been disposed of? Who is it that constitute the administrative power among the Greeks ; and what security —we mean what security in common sense—exists that money remitted to one authority, and for one pur pose, will not fall into the hands of an opposite party, and be applied to ends diametrically adverse to those enter- tamed by the contributors ? It must be to other hands than those of the Greek leaders that any funds which may he raised must be entrusted, We look with extreme so licitude to the effect of Lord Cochrane's first appearance on the scene, and mutt it may prove as complete an over throw to Greek animosity and civil discord, as we are convinced that, if he has fair play, his Lordship will render it of tb Turkish naval power. That there are some amorr,; . the Greeks who deeply lament and depre eate the 'unto:mance of piratical outrages under their flag, upon ti ne persons and property of neutra l p owers , we are well, convinced ; but it is difficult to trust or co-operate 'With a Government (if a Government there can be) which cannot or will not effectually repress the aggressions of its own subjects upon its known friends and allies.—Times. We . alluded yesterday to the, vituperative attacks of Ministers in Btackw(Ssi's ..Aragazine. There is an article on Jacob's Report on the trade in Foreign Corn, in which the author—a gentleman extremely well satisfied with himself—evidently thinks he has quite • deMolished them. Unfortunately, he does not understand even the first principles of the science of which he treats. The following passage' will be deeMed conclusive as t o thi s , we believe, "by Most of our readers - : " In other parts of his (Apr. Jacob's) Report, he seems to sneer at the maxim of buying dear manufactures at home, ra ther than . cheap► ones abroad. Austria, from its insular situa tion, can, export scarcely any of its corn and cattle ; if it do not possess native consumers, its agricultural produce must be almost without a market ; and yet, according to the ' abstract truths,' the agriculturists ought to be, in effect, prohibited from selling their produce on any terms, rather than suffered to buy with it dear nativtmanufactures." Now, assuming the allegation to be true, that Austria has no vent for her agricultural produce, how is she to find the means to purchase manufactures? . She must sell something, before she can obtain manufactures. The writer does not see that his position is a contradiction in terms. Austria would not only sell her agricultural pro duce, but she would. ; sell it for. more than can be given by the:native manufacturers, or she would sell it to them rather than to strangers. When a country is so situated that its agricultural produce cannot find a vent elsewhere, this circumstance is equivalent to a high protecting duty in favour of manufacturers. Switzerland, for instance, is protected against English manufactures by the heavy ex- Pence of carriage from the sea coast to a country so dis tant frOm it. Th e M anu f acturer. is tempted in inland countries by the double advantage of cheap food, and pro tection in the expellee of carrlisge.—illorning Chronicle. We differ considerably front the views of some Jour nalists with regard to the Joint Stock Banking Com.; parties, which it is proposed to establish in preference to the Branch Banks of the Bank of England. It is not likely that his Majesty's Ministers will throw any oh staeles in the way of Joint-Stoek Banking Companies ; but it really. seems to us' to be a very awkward scheme to remedy an evil arising from. Joint-Stock Companies by new Joint-Stock Companies, The want of good securi ties was in part the coyot e of the failures of the Country. Ranks ; but we w7 l l venture to maintain, and we think to prove, thattl",e very best securities would not he a mufti ei"at obatt.ele to the over-iiisue or Bank paper by private ei", btab":.;rinients: The advance of money on land,. in 9 , first instance, en a bl es the p ers o n wh o procure, it to obtain either more property in laud, in houses, or in some other species of real estate. The possession of this second estate is just as good security for a far ther advance as that o f th e fir s t ; an d as long as the rents of the estates, successively purchased with the ad vances,, continue to cover the interest r and leave some pro fit besides, it is obvious that any person who can procure a sum of money in the first instance, may, in theory, be enabled to obtain such sumo to infinity, and may give the most unexceptionable securities for them. Any person, therefore; 'may, even with the joint-stock system, easily tpialifY himself to becomo a partner in a banking concern ; and' the landholders, who might lend their Support to finch establishments, would not easily be induced to confine their issues to the amount of their respective securities, as they would very naturally consider the securities of those to whom notes might be advanced as joint ones, with theirs, least for the amount advanced. The building and trading mania would thus be renewed with so much the greater force, that the apparent stability of the sys tem would appear 'incomparably increased. We think we perceive, in the exclusive fondness which some display for this scheme, a lurking desire of propping obsolete pre jediees, by throwing a new power into the hands of per sons whom they conceived to be unfavotirable to the hbe rid principles of his 'Majesty's Ministry, The Clamour raieed , in Scotland against the measures about Scotch, noteis'affords a pretty dear proof of the prejudicial influ ence which is thrown by these establishments into the hands of their numerous partners; for the people of Scot land generally did not join in the cry which was raised on the occasion. It is true that Scotland Was differently sheeted in this respect from England ; but we are most deeidedly of opinion that no set of men ought to possess the influence which bankers must- possess, withont some check upon them in the handS of the Legislatiire.—These bankers 'have‘it in their power to raise and debase the price of all species of property, to asgreat a degree lamest as the Bank of England ; and as long as their separate cs; tablishments continue to act without concert, Or if they were only to act with the same degree of concert as the Scotch banks, there could he no hopes of anything but a succession .of revulsions. The stability of the Scotch hanks has been owing to the partial adoption of the prin ciple whi c h Wo u ld be completely carried into effect by the establishment of branch banks from the Bank of England —provided the Bank of England were placed more corn pletely than it has yet ostensibly been, under the control of the Legislature and his Majesty's Government. —Bri tish Press.

This case underwent a long discussion at the bar to-day, in volving questions of practice. Some time ago a motion was made by Jr. Hart on behalf of the defendant for an order, directing the receiver to pay a Man of money into court. Previously, it was referred to the Master for the purpose of the receiver passing his*ecounts ; the accounts were passed before Master Cross, and in the mean time .the Vice Chancellor made a decree, directing accounts to be taken, under which, according to the practice in the Master's Office, the parties had to go befpre Master Dowdswell, and therefore application hail been made to Mr. Cross to deliver up the papers. • He wait informed, by a communication from the Chancellor. on Saturday, not to part With them till to-day, on Mr. Hart's stating that he was about ,to deliver them up, and that ith effect of that would be to go over de now, in Mr. 0 wdswell's office, what had been gone through in Mr. Cros s 's o ce. f f Ir.

If I permit this now, where shall I stop ? Mr. HART—It is customary in the other Court, that when a cause comes on the Counsel in which is engaged in this Court, to let it stand over, if the parties in the next cause be ready. Mr. Itorne expected, that when I should mention this to your Ho nbur, you would allow a similar indulgence to suitors in this Court. The VICL-CHANCiLLOR.-4 should be very happy to do it if I. could, but I have never yet allowed it, for I am of opinion that sfich a practice would entirely paralyze the business of this Court. The cause was accordingly heard in its turn. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JULY 31. Thomas Hake, who kept an eating-house in Graces alley, was brought up on his petition and it appearing by 4is schedule that he had, on t h e .12th of May, made over to a Mr. Ireson his premises, and the good-will of his business, the Commissioner required an explanation of Oat transaction, for which purpose Mr. hewn was eia- Tined ; who stated, that he was son-in-law to the insol vent; had freqnently advanced him money to enable him to carry on business. After the Royalty Theatre had been burnt, the business declined, and his creditors began to bear hard on him. Witness perceiving that he was likely lio become insolvent, prevailed on him to assign over to iniself the premises and fixtures, &c., which was done at ti, fair valuation: he could show by documents that All his transactions with the insolvent,. were . of a bona fide de- Ocription. i I 4 Chief Commissioner inqui re d, 'if w i tness h a d at limy time opposed the discharge of an insolvent. B e i ng answered in the negative—," then," said he, " should it vet' happen to you to come here for such a purpose, and ,that the insokteht should have made over all his property to his son-in-law,. I hope you will remember this case." The insolvent was di sc h arge d. 1 Elizabeth More, of Kensington, a widow, was • brought pip and opposed, on th e groun d o f not having entered in :her • schedule a, ' deed of marriage settlement, which she 'had made over am collateral security for men.) , borrowed. She wee remailded until Friday, that the holder of the deed might give an a.ccotrat of the 'various sums of money which be had lent Diu it. William Baster, of Stepney, a beer dealer, was op. posed by John Dtmn, a wine -merchant, who stated that the insolvent had purchased of him, in December, 1824, a hogshead of wine for 19/. 10s., for which he promised to pay ready money. When witness asked him for the money, ,be said he had it not, but would give him a hill, payable at his hankers, Sir Win. Curtis and Co., in two months, which witness necept,ed ; but when he preierited it it the bunkers he was astonished to find that they did not know the insolvent, whereupon he called on him, and the only Satisfaction be got was, that he might have his wine back. - Witness said that was not fair as he had paid for the wine himself. Insolvent said be could not help it, but if he wished he would send the portbaok, and take a hogshead of inferior sherry instead. This was done, and Insolvent gave him' a bill for the amount of the sherry, which ,was also dishonoured. . • . The Chief Commissioner said, that in all this transac tion there was not the shadow of , a complaint against the insolvent under the Act of Parliament—the fact of the first bill being dishonoured, ought to have opened the eyes of the opponent; in what occurred subsequently, he saw nothing unfair in the conduct of the prisoner.

It is lucky that you have others' to back you.—The insolvent svni discharged. CATHOLIC MEETING. (From the Duldin,Wesning Post.) On Friday, pursuant to requisition, a Pupa ate meeting of ca. tholits was held at the Corn Exchange, t'or the purnma of adopt ing such measures as will protect the independent electors wbo are now threatened with a persecution by their landlords, and to obtain, such information as Will enable them to prepare petitions to Parliament on the subject. • Joni DILLON,' Esq. was called to the Chair. • CONWAY acted us Secretary. Mr. O'Dwvra said he had, at the hot meeting of, the Catholic Association, suggested the necessity of appointing a Committee to receive the complaints of the Forty Shilling Freeholders who might be persecuted for asserting their independence at the late Eke, Lions ; It was then thought necessary to call a separate rneetingfor the purpose, and in consequence the present meeting had been convened. Mr. O'Dwyer then moved, , • That the • following be appointed a committee for fourteen days, for the purpose of receiving all the information of persecu tion against the Forty Shilling Freeholders, for their corunAutional conduct, and for acting upon it in such a manner as they may think advisable." Mr. A. Baowti expressed his cordial concurrence in what had fallen from Mr. O'Dyryer. Mr, Ranatown said, it was impossible to expect a feller meet ing at this time of the year. The gentlemen of the law are on Circuit, and all others who are not detained by business, are out of town. The old Association instructed the - Forty Shilling Fres holders in the knowledge of their rights, and induced that honest hotly of men to come forward and fearlessly discharge , their duty.

Terry, an Irish labourer, was charged before Mr. Alderman Attstry with assaulting Priscilla Smith, a child not 14 years old, with intent to violate her person. The complainant, a remarkably delicate girl for her age, stated that she WAS at a Mrs. Richards's, irt Winchester-court, Monk well-street, on Saturday Morning, when the prisoner came in to make preparations for the setting of a stove in the first Boor, and she was sent up to watch him. They had scarcely entered the room when, as she wit stooping to, remove some rubbish in the fire-place, he took a liberty with her person which alarmed her, and induced her to attempt toifavehioi to himself ; but he caught her at the door, drew her in again, and treated her in a way we cannot describe. . After detaining her about 10 minutes, be permitted her to go. This happened between 11 and 12 o'clock on Saturday morning; but she did not and an opportunity of disclosing what had happened until six o'clock in the evening, when she told Mrs. Richards. Mrs. Richards stated that her husband works for the corn- Carpenter, and that on hearing o P f lai t n h a e nt c is father, ircitl t she w ance hoisa i n Zn t ol er iately examined the girl, and found that her person was not actually injured, but there were otherwise abundant proofs of the attempt that had been made upon her, .. The prisoner denied' the charge, and stated that there were 30 children playing in the court at the time, who must have heard the complainant if she had made any alarm. The girl admitted she made no alarm, and accounted for that by saying she was ashamed of being seen in such a situation as the prisoner placed her in. The Alderman, after expressing his disgust at the prisoner's unmanly conduct, committed him for the assault. MARLBOROUGH - STREET. —Yesterday a young man, named Etfiry Dunn, who has been some time a very confiden tial person in the service of Messrs. Sewell and Cross, linen drapers and mercers, in Compton-street, soho, was brought be fore Mr. Rot, the, Magistrate, charged with having robbed his employers of silks, &c., to an immense amount, a considerable portion of which was'found by Clements, the officer, at the hOuse of a female named Smith, in Brook -street, West-square, with whom the prisoner lived on term s o f i nt i macy . M rs . S m i t h is also in custody as an accomplice, and buth'were remanded for a future examination. MARY-LE-BONE OFFICE.-- G. W. Harding, alias the Hon. Wrn. Ferguson, alias Win. Fosses, appeared before Mr. RAIVLINSON, charged with obtaining goods by unlawful means, o f Mr. Wm. Wright, residing at No. 32, Little Mary-lc-bone street. The prisoner (who was dressed in the first style of fashion) requested a private hearing, to which Mr. Rawlinsou objected. Mr. Wright stated, that Mr. G. W. Harding , (14 that he avowed to be his real name) came to hia house, which is an eating-house, on Saturday night, accompanied by a friend, and caned for refreshment ; perceiving he was intexicated, he refused to supply him, and sent him away; a short time afterwards he returned, and prevailed on Mr. Wright to furnish meat, &c. to the amount of one shilling. As soon as the gentleman had finish ed his supper, he endeavoured to escape without paying ; this at tempt was frustrated by a female servant, who seized him by the collar. lie threatened to lay his stick about her back, but she called her master, and he was sent to the watch-house. He got out on Sunday by finding bail (one who signed his name Thomas Potence.) Having obtained his liberty, he returned to Mr. Wright, promised to give him a d-d good caning, and asked Mrs. Wright if she did not think she was a pretty woman to send him, the Hon. William Ferguson, or a brother of the Hon, Sir Thomas Edward Ferguson (the exact description was disputed be tween the parties in the office), to a watch-house. The de fendant acknowledged he was drunk, but he bad apologised, and that was all he could do. Mr. Rawmxsom said, the circumstances tinder which he stood were very disgraceful ; his meanness in endeavouring to get away without paying for the refreshment he had received, was inexcusable; arid he should wish him to account for his passing under different names ; in the charge book, he was called William Fasten, in the hail book George Harding ; what bad these to do with the lion. W. Ferguson or a brother of Sir Thomas Edward Ferguson ? 'the prisoner said he had taken the assumed names to avoid ex posure, and he was sorry for h. Mr. Itawmarsoar.—l think you have good reason to be sorry. You wanted me to give you a private hearing ; Y am glad I did not. You must pay fts. for being druuk, and you are at liberty to make Mr. Wright a compensation, if he is willing to receive it. The parties retired ; awl after a short absence, Mr. Wright re turned. Ile informed Mr. Rawlinson that the business was ar ranged ; awl as Mr. Harding was a gentleman of some diutinetion, he hoped Mr. Ttawlinson would prevent the ease being notiewt by Om pees*. ‘‘ Oh," said Mr. RA temnsoN, do not talk to we about the press. His conduct has been very unbecoming a gentleman, and it deserves to be exposed." UNION-HALL—Two girls of the town, named Lewis and Petty, were charged with having robbed James Salisbury, the master of a tradingxessel of Sbi, on Sunday night, From.** *ride:lce, it appeared that the complainant's vessel had arrived in port on Saturday. last ; he landed at Deptford on Sunday afternoon, and according to his own phrase, walked quietly along shore until he net with the two women , at the bar, both of, whom he invited into a vrinervaulin to have* glass of grog. They subsequently proceeded to a house in White Bear-garden', Kota-target, where it appeared they all w en t t o b e d t o g et her, and the master of the ship being rather "top heavy," on account of potent .libations he had taken, soon dropped off asleep. Ric bed-ftl lows availed themselves of the droweiness of their companion, got up, dressed, and having ransacked his pockets of , two HA notes, one AL do., and ten sovereigns, they departed; luckily for him, however, without taking his clothes, as it appeared, that had that been the ease, he would not have been the first man turned naked into the street, out of the brothel into which he had ventured with the two damsels. When he awoke, to his surprise, he found himself alone, and soon discov ere d t h at h e h a d b een robbed of the nioney he bad so imprudently taken into suc h a place. He gave information of his loss at the watch-house, with a description of the girls who had robbed him. _ _ Maisey and Wanbey, two vonstables of St. George's, described the house in which the complainant hid been robbed of the very worst description, not a night passing without outrages end rob beries being committed within it. 'laving received information of the robbery, and the circumstancea attending it,' Wanbey pro ceeded to the house of a constable, name Cave, near, the Mint, where, it appeared, the prisoners had taken refuge, after having comm itt e d the robbery, and there .apprehended them both in one of thTheag.MlCagiret4 up stairs. a l teezressed his surprise that the girls should have concealed themselves in the house of a constable. It was here stated to Mr. CIIAMEIRS that the how in which Cave lived was the resort of the most abandoned and profligate .characters of both saes. It was a, common brothel, and Cave lived with the woman who rented the house. CitAxusxs appeared extremely iostonished that Ruth a man ail CIIVe should hold the situation of eon:4,OAI, and intimated his determination of not permitting him to be put on Ilia path again, the magistrate observing that such a man's eVidenee should not be taken. Maisey stated that he had apprehended the woman in whose house the complainant had been r nbb e ti ' The Magistrate desired her to be brought forward. She is a wrinkled old bag, upwards of 70 years of age. Mr. CliAlissßs, having expressed the strongeit disgust at her abominable occupation (that of a b►w+d), committed her to gaol in default of bail, for keepin g a disorderly house; and the two pri soners were remanded fur a few days, in order to give time for tracing the notes of which the complainant had been rubbed.

" T. W. BEAUMONT." MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. The long continuance of drought, and absence of those seasonable and genial showers, so indispensable to the health and improvement of most of the earth's produc tions, must necessarily render the present inferior in good promise to 'our last report. Wheat, as its nature, has re ceived less damage than any other crop; and, in fact, granting a favourable harvest, will nearly answer our most sanguine expectations. On lands of the best quality and the best farmed, the bulk of wheat appeared great, both in straw and corn, and both the aereitble quantity and the quality will equal the best years. On middling and thin sous the ears appear*. small, the calks short and weak,suld the whole not bulky. We have nevertheless seen, on poor stony soils in this county, wheat under the sickle which promises between three and four quarters per acre of white wheat, the sample tine and pure, the blight upon an ear here and there ,not reaching beyond the chaff; Of a selected plant among the heads, the stalk was stout, more than a yard and a half in length, and the number of kernels in the ear 68; the average numb er o f k e r ne l sper . haps 40. It is, in the common phrase, a wh eat year; t h e anaverethe quality fin e , with q and the st raw c l ean to discolouredb e above or smutted,and pure. • The wheat crops on the Continent: and Ire, quantity nti v t e y ry prom little promises land bear much the same report. It is on the spring crops that the drought has had such an 'unfavourable, and,' too generally, rtunous effect. • In deed, it is a god-send where any of these have escaped, and may possibly turn out productive. Of barley and oats, in some parts the former, in others the latter, have suffered the least injury; but in none can there possibly be a productive crop. The beans and pease have Suffered still more, short in the haulm, thinly podded, and eaten up by the blight insect. Both those and oats. we have seen cut green in Kent and Essex, as fodder for live stock, the grass being entirely consumed or burnt up.-- The artificial Fusses and seeds have suffered in the same degree, sainfoin excepted, which is generally said to suc ceed with wheat. Potatoes are complained, of from yeti-, ous parts; but they appear in this county with a deep and healthy green, which is really, promising; and, in fact, the culture. is, so extensive, that there need be no apprehen sion of an adequate supply. Of hops we hear few or no complaints. The h a y h arvest , a very light one, was quickly and successfully finished; but much of it was really made before it was cut; and that which 'had much making afterwards, must have been so exhausted of its juices, that it could retain little substance or condition.-- Of turnips the tale is disheartening; sown and renown I they were still blighted and dpiotired by th e bli g h t i n se ct and should no f ur th er sowing take place, there cannot be half a turnip crop in the country;--a misfort un e to our winter-stock feeding system, as would seem scarcely to admit of any remedy. But the twenty-four hours of rain, commencing on the 22d instant, p. as. with all the appearance of its being general, has, it may be hoped, afforded us an adequate remedy. It is not yet too late to sow turnips with the prospect of a useful crop, This soaking rain will also have the best effect on the stubborn clods of the clay-land wheat-fallows hitherto al ether practicable with the tege er imprac ticable strongest teams. The early sheep - -shearing proved fort" - nate, considering the heat and drought which ensued. The cattle have suffered excessively, from the flies, and in many parts from want of water, most of the resources of that kind being dried up. The hives, it is said, will not be productive this year, from the bee-flowers being exhausted of their fragrant juices by the excessive heat. In wool, no improvement in demand or price—itock piled upon ,stock, both here and upon the Continent. No demand fOr bark. From the scarcity, it is rem ar ked , that the price of beam , w ill exceed that of wheat. Most kinds of fruit are in great plenty, nod ii productive crap of the cyder apple is ex pected. Live stock, both fat and lean, meet but a dull sale in the country; indeed, considering the prospect for winter keepin g , th e demand for stores cannot be very brisk. Prices of horses, of a ll descriptions, still receding. The present harvest hie been among the earlieit. Wheat was cut in Essex in the 'first week of thiS month. The Lent corn, much of it, became too suddenly and earl y ripe, before it had at tained fullness and maturity. The sprin g cro p s i n scot land are of better report than'ours in the South, and C w heat harvest in the arse Qf 00wrie will p ro b a bly cern utence next week.

ROYAL MANCHESTER INSTITUTION. On Wednesday last, a public meeting ofthe r governona . of the Royal Manchester Institution, was held. in the Exchange dining-room ;B. A. Heywood, Esq, in the Chair. - In opening the buSiness of the meeting, the Chairman expressed his hope that the proceedings of the ,day .would be conducted with moderation. He was aware that sone dissatisfaction had existed amongst the governors: he ut,i derstood that the committee had been blamed for the el' pence to which they had already gone; but he would ob serve, that the determining on the erection of a splendid was the work of the governors at large, and, in his opini on, that determination was right. This nada had now arrived at such a pitch of refinement, that it would not tolerate what was moderate and middlingeitber in literature or the arts. In matters of literature, for in stance, it would. not tolerate modern poetry; nobody' would read it, and, in matters of taste, it would not, 40.1 a; rate modern architecture. -He (the Chairman) had, in tbs first instance, been the advocate, of moderate building; he had made a`motion: in the committee in favour of a moderate building, . but nobody had seconded what he said, and he Was now of opinion that they were right. ' There were other subjects which would most likely come before the governors; for instance, it had been pr• posed to join this institution with other institutions. 'lin! had led to some difference of opinion, but, he hoped it would be kept in mind that their objects were the same, and that, on some satisfactory principle, they might be joined hereafter. He begged pardon for having so long occupied their time he intended merely to speak his sense of the importance of the meeting, and to express his hope that it would lead to some satisfactory conclusion. Mr. G. F. Bury, the Secretary, then read the report° the last general meeting.—Manchester Guaidian.
